With almost twice as many animals entered as in the past, 32 DHS students participated in the hvestock competi- tion. Because of the increase in agri- cultural knowledge of the future farm- ers of this area due mostly to the instruction of Mike Ellis, there was a noticeable difference in the quality of the show animals at this year ' s fair, said Jr. Dele Greeman. Mary Martinez raised the Grand Champion steer, and Kelly Gannaway raised the Reserve Champ. Bill Dines had the Grand Champion pig, and Matt Williams had the Reserve pig. Kevin Dines, sister of Bill Dines, exhibited the Grand Cham- pion lamb and Dianne Kasparian showed the Reserve lamb. The carnival was not as popular as in the past but many students enjoyed the lights, noise, and fast motion. The rodeo attracted two DHS stu- dents as entrants. Curtis Rodgers and Ray Trejo tried their luck and skill at bull riding. Their scores weren ' t win- ning scores, but both agreed that the experience was worth their time. i |. i|.ni| j .i.ijinin., ' -:iri ' in-r ' - ' - ' ™ 1% ,WRM. State F ' 162
